Widely spread around the world, the medicinal use of sucupira is useful in the treatment of various health problems, and its benefits can be used through the consumption of tea made with macerated seeds.It is important to emphasize, however, that there is no scientific evidence regarding the use and benefits of seeds, as well as there are no studies that guarantee the safety of ingesting this natural medicine.

Some famous people, however, use the plant and report getting results. Actor Juca de Oliveira, for example, who sometimes got completely stuck after heavy work, heard about the benefits for fighting pain and decided to give it a try, consuming 1.5 L of tea daily.

According to him, the results were great, exceptional: within a week of consumption, he was great.

Applications in dogs

Also according to him, the application of tea for dogs is also great. A dog on his farm had pain in his paw, walking with only three of them, having difficulties to move because of their size and weight. Afraid that the dog would die during the surgery recommended by the veterinarian, he decided to try to treat the pet with sucupira, a method which had positive effects.
